Word origin

From crypto- + -logy, from Ancient Greek κρυπτός (kruptós, “hidden”) + λόγος (lógos, “word”); originally after Latin cryptologia, which is apparently first recorded in an English context.

Used in a sentence

  • Meronyms: cryptography, cryptanalysis; encoding, decoding; encrypting, decrypting, decyphering
  • Near-synonyms: cryptanalysis, decoding, decrypting, decyphering
  • But the question of speech-play causes confusion to the slang researcher because this subject borders on family slang, private lingo, secret language, cryptologies, disguised language of children and grown-ups
